OIL BURNER.

Application filed May 31, 1924. Serial No. 717,097.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY R. JnsKo, acitizen of the United States,residing at Laverne, in the county of Harper and State of Oklahoma, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in an Oil Burner, of whichthefollowing is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in oil burners andhas for its principal object to provide a simple and eflicient devicewhich will be inexpensive, strong and durable.

A further object of the invention is to provide an oil burner of theabove men tioned character, wherein the oil is adapted to be pro-heatedprevious to the discharging of the oil to the burner.

Other objects and advantages of this invention will become apparentduring the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and inwhich like numerals designate like parts throughout the same:

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of my improved oil burner, and

Figure 2 is a sectional view taken approximately on line 2-2 of Figure1.

In the drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown thepreferred embodiment of my invention. the numeral 1 designates thecasing and the same preferably comprises an ordinary heating stove fromwhich the grate and ash pan are removed. Supported in the bottom 2 ofthe casing 1 is the concrete base 3 and the same is provided with asubstantially centrally located opening 4t and the purpose thereof is toprovide a means for receiving" and supporting therein the oil burner 5which is preferably formed of iron and has its upper surface concavedand slightly roughened as clearly illustrated in the drawings.

Extending vertically within the casing and having its upper portionextending through the top 6 of the casing is the draft conduit 7. Thelower end of the conduit is disposed. directly above the burner 5 andprovided on. the upper end of the draft conduit the damper plate 8 whichis pivotally supported thereon and adapted to be actuated forcontrolling the supply of air to the burner throng-h the pipe 7.

Extending through the vertical draft conduit 7 is an oil delivery pipe 9and the lower end thereof is adapted to extend through a suitable spider10 arranged in the lower portion of the conduit 7 and the purposethereof is to provide a means for centering the oil delivery pipe sothat the same will communicate with the oil burner 5. The upper portionof the oil delivery pipe extends above the upper edge of the conduit andit is to be understood that suitable means is provided for enabling thecover or damper plate 8 to be moved on the upper edge of the conduitwithout interference thereto by the upper portion of the oil deliverypipe 9. A needle valve of any well known construction is arranged in theup per end of the oil pipe 9 and is illustrated at 11 in the drawing.Communicating with the upper portion of the oil delivery pipe 9 is anoil supply pipe 12 which is adapted tobe connected to a suitable oilsupply tank (not shown) it being understood of course that the supplytank is disposed at a point above the casing so that the oil therefrommav by gravity be fed to the delivery pipe 9 through the supply pipe 12.

In use, a piece of paper or the like is placed on the burner 5 andignited and bv opening the needle valve 11, a supply of oil is deliveredthrough the pipe 9 onto the ignited paper and a flame is thus providedwhich will continuouslv burn as long as oil is supplied or delivered tothe burner. The provision of the conduit 7 and the oil delivery pipe 9in the manner shown wherein the same are disposed directly above theburner will cause the oil in the pipe 9 to be heated. previous to thedelivery of the same to the burner and thus addine to the cliiciency ofthe operation of the oil burner. As hereinbefore stated, the draft tothe burner mav be regulated by the damper plate 8. Furthermore the oilwhich. is delivered to the burner through the pipe 9 may also beregulated by the actuation of the needle valve 11.

The simplicity of my device enables the same to be manufactured at avery low cost and will further be strong and durable. Furthermore theprovision of an oil delivery means of the character above described willprevent any possibility of oil being wasted as the same will be causedto be deposited onto the burner 5.

While I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to beunderstood that various changes in the size, shape and arrangement ofparts may be resorted to Without departing from the spirit of theinvention and the scope of the appended claim.

Having thus described the invention, What I claim is A device of theclass described comprising a casing, an oil burner supported upon thebottom thereof, a cylindrical air conduit depending from the top of thecasing and terminating in close spaced proximity above the center ofsaid burner, the upper end of said conduit extending above the top ofsaid casing, a damper mounted upon the upper end of said conduit, an oildelivery pipe of a length substantially equal to said conduit, said oildelivery pipe extending downwardly through the conduit and terminatingjust above the bottom thereof, a spider mounted in said conduit, thelower end of said oil delivery pipe extending through and being centeredby said spider,

and an oil supply pipe connected to the upper end of said delivery pipe.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

HARRY R. JESKO.
